Hey asshole.....we had a PhD in there and he blew it. That tears to tatters your presumption that academics make the best leaders.

So why aren't University professors presidents and governors? Heck, why are our universities such citadels of shame? The current minister of education is an academic.

Stop this Nigerian mentality of thinking paper certificates are more important than vision, character and leadership abilities.

midnighter:


Stop doing whataboutery. Just because a PhD has failed it doesn't mean we should condone rubbish speaking errors.

Expecting a governor of state to be able to string a few sentences together is not too much to ask for Christ's sake.

He's an nce holder, Dem no dey yarn English for nce class

BotherMleeper:


So Mr Perfect Speaker, how come he's governor with his poor speech and you're an internet nonentity despite your lyrical prowess?

joepepsy:
You see why we will remain slaves to Britain,We ridicule someone for not speaking foreign language fluently.

FearGodinall:
Those of you making a case because of his spoken English,we Bayelsans elected him and will do so a thousand times if the opportunity present it self again, we love him so,leave the young man for us.

midnighter:


Lol more whataboutery.

Just admit you can't defend it, because you can't.

omenka:
Truth be told, this shit is funny.

BotherMleeper:


So also you can't defend why your presumptions are inverted.... he's something, you're nothing

FearGodinall:
Those of you making a case because of his spoken English,we Bayelsans elected him and will do so a thousand times if the opportunity present it self again, we love him so,leave the young man for us.

Abia state Governor is a Professor hope you know.

Hong kong's lingua franca is English same with Nigeria but 50% of their citizens and leaders can't speak English language fluently,Does it mean they aren't intelligent?

This your comment shows me that you are very dull

omenka:
Just look at the names of those mocking him sha. They've started wailing on behalf of the people of Bayelsa as usual. Same way they've been wailing on behalf of the entire South South for five years.

One thing folks don't understand about the average South Southener is that good spoken english isn't their forte. I served in Delta state and can tell you without mincing words pidgin is their official language of choice even in the government house!

Jonathan, despite having a Ph. D, makes unpardonable grammatical blunders (eg, how much did Jim Nwobodo stole), and that of Mamma Peace is stuff of legend. See Efe, see Omashola, etc. It is simply their thing, so, no one should crucify Lyon for this. Let his works speak for him.

Kingsley10000:

Hong kong,India,south Africa etc are colonised by the Britain,they also adopted English language as their official language.hong kong is white skin thats why they are able to organise
their language to be in the fore front
blacks are yet to organise themselves likewise.
who do u blame?
Lets organise ourselves for our languages to be at the fore front.

There's no correlation between intelligence and English language;what are we even arguing.

Even Donald Trump isn't fluent in English language,if you have been following his speeches,he makes a lot of blunders.Does that mean he isn't intelligent?

helinues:
Who English epp

It's sign of indiscipline not to be able to speak the language you were educated in for years upon years

Kingsley10000:
Even your English sef na cut and join

First, remove the beam
out of your own eye , and then you can see clearly to
remove the speck out of your brother's eye

midnighter:


I have modified it.

That is what an enlightened person does when he is corrected instead of defending his ignorance

Kingsley10000:


Neo-colonialism and inferiority complex has finished us in this country.See how this negro is fighting tooth and nail to defend a white man's language at the detriment of her own.

Those of you guys putting strenuous efforts to enforce excellent command of English language can't even speak,read or write in your respective local languages.

The fact one is good and proficient in a language makes you Verbal-linguistics brilliant not GENERALLY INTELLIGENT

Wahala.. They don buy market.. Well no be good English go put food on their table

Turantula:
Party of illiterates, just like their terrorist Oga

Hedonini:
They will ask you disdainfully - "is it by English"? But you're supposedly educated. And English is the only language of formal education in Nigeria, so what are you saying?

It's a shame how mediocrity is exalted while meritocracy is relegated in Nigeria. Big shame. Is this the best the APC in Bayelsa can put forward? Why don't we like putting our best foot forward? Just look at a primitive peasant like Buhari for example. He is the fucking president. Welcome to Nigeria.
